All Khao Lak Tours & Excursions in 2026

At this point in our trip we had been all over Thailand, and our whole group agreed it was one of our favorite days. We went in low season and were lucky enough to only have 5 people total. Our guide was Perry, she was amazing, took great care of us, and even brought us snacks to try. Absolutely the sweetest. Views on the tour were stunning and so worth it. Lunch was provided and (as a picky eater) probably the best food to date on the trip. So so yummy. Absolutely would take this tour again.

We received clear instructions from smile where to locate our driver on arrival which was reassuring. Our plane was delayed leaving Delhi and delayed landing at phuket due to weather so we were worried about our pick up as we were an hour late. But everything was brilliant we were greeted warmly and transferred to our resort in khao lak smoothly. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Phuket’s Best Trip for Real Snorkelers If you are a serious snorkeler, skip the high-rated Phi Phi "mass-market" tours. Those trips target casual tourists who often can't swim and prioritize buffet food or Instagram photos over the water. On those tours, I’ve been forced to wear a life jacket and stuck in crowded spots where guides feed fish for "pretty pictures." This trip is different. It’s tailored for people who prioritize underwater time over everything else. The Highlights: • Cultural Start: Visited a Moken village to see their unique, traditional way of life. • Serious Snorkeling: Three distinct spots with 30–40 minutes of swim time at each. • Marine Life: Stunning reefs, diverse fish, and I even spotted a small shark. • Expert Crew: Very competent captains and guides who actually know the water. The only downside: It is extremely far from Phuket (we stayed in Karon). Mentally prepare for several hours of travel each way, but it is 100% worth it if you want to escape the crowds. I struggled to find a non-tourist-trap excursion and was hesitant due to the low review count, but this exceeded all expectations. Highly recommended for enthusiasts.

The pick up was on time and the travel less than 30 minutes to the Tuttle Conservation centre. Seeing and hearing about the Conservation work undertaken was interesting and as a bonus one of the Tsunami memorials are situated here which was poignant. We were taken to a waterfall but being as we are still in the dry season (early April) it was a trickle. The rafting was a really pleasant experience, wow the rafters put some work in. Be prepared to be wet as you are basically sat in the water. As with our all round experience in Thailand there is no pressure to up sell souvenirs, photos etc

It’s a great itinerary, and the scenery is beautiful. Our guide and driver were excellent. The lunch spot was perfect—beautiful setting and delicious food. We were hoping the guide could share a bit more about Thailand’s history, culture, and plantations during the journey. Overall, it was a great tour.

one-of-a-kind experience learning about Buddha and the temples that honor him. Arissa was our tour guide and she was AMAZING. She is so kind and was very informative in answering all of our questions along the way. I highly recommend doing this temple tour. The lunch that is provided was so delicious. 10/10 experience!

My partner and I, due to a packed schedule, had to decided on a snorkelling experience to cancel. It came down to either this experience or one of the more famous ones on the Similan Islands. We can categorically say that we are very happy that we chose this one. We opted for a private tour and we were picked up from our resort and transported to a local fishing village where their operation is. From there we were greeted by Sam who joined us on our tour. From the get go we could tell he was a highly qualified and passionate guide and he made the whole trip a pleasure. Even as we made our way to the reef he gave information on the local area and wildlife (including monkeys). When we arrived at the reef, we were fitted with our gear (which we had preselected sizes) and we hopped into the water. We were very lucky that the weather was immaculate and the waters were crystal clear. From here we were granted a very generous hour to swim at leisure and snorkel around the area, where an amazing array of marine wildlife was visible. On this day we missed out on sea turtles, but, the sheer variety of other wildlife more than made up for this. Once we finished we were taken by boat to a private beach/dining area where we were served a delicious local lunch and were permitted to roam around the area. The beach itself stretched far in both directions and was great for private walks/swims. Once we were done our guides happily transported us back to our resort. If you want a great wildlife experience without the crazy crowds we highly recommend this and we would do it again. Love from Australia 🐨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘

Absolutely fantastic tour with very experienced and attentive guide and crew. The snorkel locations were so great - we saw angel fish, clown fish, parrot fish and beautiful coral reefs. The time at the sea gypsy village was really fascinating and we all loved meeting the locals. We saw flying lemurs and pig macaques on Surin island. Snacks, drinks , breakfast, lunch and dinner were included. We would definitely recommend this tour.
